I want to sort two sequences with different data types but both with an equal 
number of elements eg.

f = [0.21, 0.68, 0.44, ..., 0.23]
i = [6, 18, 3, ..., 45]

The obvious solution is to use zip ie. pairs = zip(f,i) followed by 
pairs.sort().  This is fine but my sequences contain 10,000+ elements and the 
sort is performed thousands of times.  Is there a faster solution?
